A History of Miracles in the Ministries of the Sanders Family

When a child gets sick, it places lots of stress on the mom/dad/sitter. The child cry’s, coughs, screams etc… sometimes are enough to break even the strongest mom/dad into a mental case due to not knowing what to do.

Dad got out the anointing oil.Continue reading →
